Telephone Pioneers Collection 2003-35
Inclusive Dates: 1880s-1990s, bulk dates 1930s-1970s
 
Scope Notes:
This collection contains materials related to the Telephone Pioneers of America organization. Telephone company workers created this organization in 1911 and it became a fraternal type group that focused on service and activities. This is a nationwide organization divided into different chapters. Most of this collection pertains to the “Hawkeye Chapter” or “Chapter 17” which included Davenport. Some of the materials also pertain to the Muscatine chapter.
 
The items donated came from a museum, created by the Telephone Pioneers, in the telephone building at 6th and Main in Davenport, Iowa. The museum was created to document the creation of, and continued technology of the telephone and to document the Telephone Pioneers as an organization. Ms. Mary Ann Wilkison, in memory of W. B. “Red” Sebern, donated the items when the museum closed. The reason for the closure of the museum was because the space taken by the museum was needed by the telephone company. 
 
The collection includes multiple scrapbooks documenting the Telephone Pioneers activities, manuals belonging to the employees, newsletters sent to members, records of pole locations, treasurer records, newspaper clippings mentioning the organization, correspondence from former employees, information about the “Facsimile Picture Service”, and items from binders belonging to members. The collection also includes three large maps, a “Theodore N. Vail” certificate and letter, an “Outstanding Safety Performance Award”, membership and ID cards, and watercolors of the local area. Three-dimensional objects were also donated with this collection.
 
The photographic collection includes photographs of early telephone services, prints of telephone buildings in the area, and photographs of Telephone Pioneer activities including retirements and anniversaries. The Memorandum of Gift states that there are approximately 161 photographs. Around 140-150 photographs were counted. 
 
Only names which were specifically mentioned within a document or those people who where often documented were placed on the cross reference of names. The scrapbooks contained many people who are not referenced on this list. Also, the photographic collection contained many people who have been identified on the envelopes but are not included on the cross reference of names.

John L. “Jack” Schneiders Collection 2008-5
Inclusive Dates: 1962-2008
 
Biography: John L. Schneiders and his wife Jean Alice Kennedy moved to Davenport, Iowa in 1963. They became active in the Civil Rights movement, joining the Catholic Interracial Council (CIC) and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Issues tackled by these groups in the 1960s ranged from fair housing code to fairness in schools and bowling alleys to equal employment opportunities. Schneiders was elected president of the CIC in 1969. He and his family moved to Urbandale, Iowa in 1970.
 
Contents description: 4.5 linear feet; this collection includes materials from the following accessions 2008-5, 2008-6, and 2009-18.
 
Clippings: Newspaper and magazine clippings on Civil Rights issues. The clippings material also contains correspondence, press releases, programs and booklets.
 
Topical files: correspondence, clippings and notes on people, places, events and topics important to the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s. Includes local and national material from the CIC and NAACP.
 
Schneiders created file guides (located at the beginning of the collection) by numbering select folders, which were not in any particular order when the Putnam received the collection. His numbering appears in parenthesis after the folder title where applicable.
 
With the exception of folders on important Quad Cities Civil Rights figures, which appear at the beginning of the topical files, the topical files are listed in alphabetical order.

Steamboating Collection
               Blair Collection 1921-14 (also 1940-14, 1961-121,1974-13, 1975-10)
               Maines Collection 1945
 
Inclusive Dates: 1830-1980
 
Scope Notes:
This collection contains information, documents and newspaper clippings related to steamboating on the Mississippi River and other inland waterways. Steamboat and captain/pilot files contain histories or pieces of information about the boats and personnel, usually from unidentified sources. The collection also contains correspondence between Judge Maines and individuals, organizations and photography studios from which he acquired steamboat photographs.
 
The materials in this collection were primarily assembled by Judge W. M. Maines and Captain Walter A. Blair. Some of the Blair Collection was donated by Gertrude and B. B. Blair [son] after Captain Blair’s death, c. 1940. Most documents are stamped to indicate the original collector. Additional newspaper clippings postdate these donations and are assumed to have been assembled by Museum staff. Smaller collections from other donors are also included.
 
Also see The Steamboat Photograph Collection.
 
A short cross-reference of names, based on folder titles, is included with this inventory. See card cross-reference file for full index of steamboats, companies and captains/pilots.
